​​​Bauer explained to the New York Post his three rules of dating and to put it bluntly, they're terrible...

"“I have three rules,” said Bauer. “One: no feelings. As soon as I sense you’re developing feelings, I’m going to cut it off, because I’m not interested in a relationship and I’m emotionally unavailable. Two: no social media posts about me while we’re together, because private life stays private. Three: I sleep with other people. I’m going to continue to sleep with other people. If you’re not O.K. with that, we won’t sleep together, and that’s perfectly fine. We can just be perfectly polite platonic friends.”

For the rest of us however, it's clear that Bauer would not make an ideal partner in a relationship, especially considering the starting pitcher admitted he would ghost someone as soon as he detected feelings on their end.
